SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,427, dated December 16, 1884.

Application filed February 4. 1884. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.-

Be it'known that I, HERMAN WILL, a citi- Zen of theUnited States,residing at Chicago, in the county of' Gool; and State of'IIlinois, 5have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sirup-Gages forBottle-Filling Machines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements' in sirup-gages for bottle-fillingmachines in which Io the solid plunger ot' the pump that regulates andfeeds the sirup to the bottles is actuated by two connecting-rods, soarranged as to have a symmetrical and balanced strain on the saidplunger by placing the connecting-rods ou op- 15 posite sides from eachother.

Figure lis a bach elevation. side elevation.

The pump'handles and levers C D I revolve about the i'ulcruin O, and areactuated by the 2o hand when the sirup-gage is used. rlhe solid plungerll has an up-and-down reciprocating motion. The upward movement drawsinthe siru p through the pipe K and the downward movement discharges itthrough the pipe L to Fig. 2 is a 25 the bottle-filling head by means ofa rubber or I other pipe. Then water is admitted by the ,l pipe M, andwashes any remaining sirup out through the pipe L. Vhen the lever-handleT is moved through a less arc, the lunOer is b p a:

raised less, and the bottle has aslnaller charge 3o of sirup. This isregulated by placing the setscrew V in different holes, so that thehandle T has less angular movement before it hits the projection from I,and the plunger has less travel. Heretof'ore there has been but one 35coimecting-rod, as B, passing from the top center of plunger down by oneside of pump to the lever I D, connected at P. From the drawings it willbe seen that such action or strain would not be cent-ral, but one-sided,having a 4o tendency to bind the plunger in its barrel; but by thedouble levers C and D and the double connecting-rods A and B, journaledat P and P to the levers, the entire stra-in is divided and balanced bythe two connecting` 45 rods, effecting a much smoother and verydesirable movement.

I claim- As an improvement in Sirup-gage levers, the lever C D,bifurcated so as y to be pivoted 5o and combined with two opposite andsymmetrical connecting-rods, A and B, in the manner set forth.

HERMAN VILL.
